A definition of “Mission Creep” goes like this:
“a gradual shift in objectives during the course of a military campaign, often resulting in an unplanned long-term commitment.”
Sound familiar? When applied to military operations, this could surely be applied to Viet Nam, Iraq and Afghanistan. Possibly Korea as well.
Now it looms on the horizon with regards to “immigration reform”. For years, we have been told to accept the fact that we have 11-12 million individuals in this country illegally. Then came the “DACA” group. They were supposed to comprise 800,000 “children” who had come illegally to this country with their parents. As such, it wasn’t their choice, and so wasn’t their fault. Continue reading Mission Creep!
I have no sympathy for them. Their parents knowingly broke the law. They are in this county illegally. End of message. To allow the DACA group to stay without penalty is a travesty to our legal system, and an insult to all those former and future individuals who respect our immigration laws and earn the right to be in this country. LEGALLY!
This has been the worst fall and winter for the various cold season illnesses that I can recall, at least back to the days of the “Hong Kong Flu” in the early 70’s. I’ve been down twice already. First, just before Thanksgiving, with a nasty flu like intestinal virus, and now with “RSV”, a highly contagious virus strain which causes a deep and heavy cough and chest congestion.
Let me try to understand this. Schumer, Pelosi and the rest of the Democrats are willing to shut down the government, with all that entails, to benefit a group of people who are in this country illegally. There is no debate on their status. In doing so Democratic politicians will adversely affect American citizens. What’s wrong with this picture?
Before the 2016 election he used the “P” word and the left went apoplectic. Now he may have used the “S” word, as in “Sh**hole”, and the left once again rises in righteous indignation. They don’t care that NFL players kneel during the playing of the National Anthem. They aren’t bothered that the Black Lives Matter crowd calls for police to be killed and thugs to be venerated. They have no problem with a beautiful young woman being murdered by a convicted felon who had been deported numerous times before he finally killed someone. They applaud the concept of sanctuary cities and tens of millions of illegal aliens streaming across our southern borders, sometimes bringing drugs and crime with them. But WORDS, especially from a President they detest, enrage them. 
From the beginning, the “Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals” (DACA) initiative has been based on a false premise. Basically, we have been told that something like 800,000 individuals who were brought into this country illegally by their parents are entitled to remain because “it wasn’t their fault”. Under that concept, all our immigration laws are basically fungible, subject to being replaced by whatever is expedient or “necessary” at the moment. Think about that for a bit. What other laws are “irrelevant” in the minds of Progressives? Certainly voter laws. No one should have to prove who they are to vote! That is a right! So, we are assured that there is no voter fraud. One of our most sacred privileges as citizens, the ability to determine by our ballot who will represent us in government, and in many cases judge us from the bench, is not threatened by allowing anyone to vote who “certifies” they are legal voters at the polling place. It isn’t even required that you make this statement in English. That would be prejudicial!
